Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a parallax barrier system is used for 3D display, then multiple viewpoint images can be displayed simultaneously, but crosstalk between left eye image and right eye image occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The display panel is divided into multiple pixel series with different horizontal pixel widths, where first series pixels and second series pixels are arrayed alternately. This segmentation allows different pixels to serve different functions for 3D display, reducing crosstalk by assigning specific pixels to specific viewpoint images
Solution Approach 2:
Different regions of the display panel have different pixel widths tailored to their specific functions. First series pixels have larger horizontal pixel widths optimized for certain viewpoint images, while second series pixels have smaller horizontal pixel widths optimized for other viewpoint images, improving local image quality and reducing crosstalk
2Ease of manufacture
If pixels of uniform size are used in the display part, then manufacturing is simplified, but image quality for both 3D and 2D display is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The display panel employs pixels with different horizontal pixel widths in different regions. First series pixels have larger horizontal pixel widths while second series pixels have smaller horizontal pixel widths, optimizing image quality for both 3D and 2D display modes while maintaining manufacturability through systematic arraying
3Illumination intensity
If the aperture ratio is increased to improve image quality, then brightness is enhanced, but moire patterns become more prominent
Solution Approach 1:
The display is segmented into multiple pixel series with different pixel widths, allowing optimized light passage control. This segmentation enables better control over light distribution, maintaining brightness while suppressing moire patterns through reduced aperture ratio in specific regions
Solution Approach 2:
The horizontal pixel width parameter is varied across different pixel series. By changing this parameter systematically, the display achieves optimal balance between aperture ratio for brightness and moire suppression, with first series pixels having larger widths and second series pixels having smaller widths
